ANTISLIP MEANS FOR WRIST WATCH CHAINS Filed May 20, 1937 Inventor fiaydfiazcize 77 Attorneys Patented Apr. 19, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ANTISLIP MEANS FOR WRIST WATCH CHAINS 1 Claim.

This invention relates to means for preventing the band or chain of a wrist watch from slipping on the wrist of the user, thegeneral object of the invention being to provide a pair of curved 5 members for fitting on those portions of the band of the watch which engage the sides of the wrist, with simple means for holding the band in place.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is an edge view of a wrist watch, with the invention in place on the chain thereof.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a section on line 33 of Figure 1.

In this drawing, the watch is shown at A and the chain which passes around the wrist of the the user and are held in place by clips or clamps of any suitable or desired construction and which engage portions of the chain a. I prefer to place a strip 3 of felt or the like on the inner face of each strip or band I to frictionally engage the wrist and prevent the band I from irritating the skin of the user, though in some cases this member 3 is not necessary.

The width and design of the members I should conform to the chain on which they are to be used, so as not to interfere with the artistic effect.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination, and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What is claimed is:

In combination with the chain band of a wrist watch, a pair of metal strips of arcuate shape, said strips contacting the inner face of those portions of the watch band which engage the sides of the wrist, clips formed with the strips and connected to the side edges thereof and bent over the edges of the watch band to hold the strips on the band and strips of fabric connected to the inner faces of the strips for engaging the wrist of the user. 30
